create a "lottery-ticket" with numbers

[lazerx]

Is there any way to mark each page with a different number (in order)?
Im not thinking in marking only the page itself, cause it's going to start with 100 and two "tickets"/page.

im planning to help with some kind of lottery.

Are you talking about a sequential numbering system to identify each individual page? A bit like cloakroom tickets? If so, the automatic page number tool will do the trick, even if you want to start from 100. Here's how:

1. Go to you master page(s) and create a text box where you want the numbers to appear. Go to TYPE > INSERT SPECIAL CHARACTERS > AUTO PAGE NUMBER. On the master page, this will show as "A" in the text box.

2. Return to your first page. Go to LAYOUT > NUMBERING AND SECTION OPTIONS. Click "Start Page Numbering At" and insert the number you want to start from (100). Click OK and hey presto!

and here's how to print 2 on a page: set up the page size to the size of one ticket, then when you go to print, select the print 2-up from the layout screen.
